There's more to it than that, too.  They hired him when Kill abruptly had to go away, striving to maintain a semblance of continuity*.  I don't think that anybody there considered him to be the long term guy for that job--and when this stuff happened, it just made it more clear that he was the wrong fit.  Plus, a new AD who wants to put his own stamp on the program, plus the scandal, etc.

No brainer to let this guy go.

[SIZE=3]*Kill was a perfect coach for this type of program.  He had a good system, he excelled taking lower rated recruits and making them into program fits, etc.  They were never going to compete with OSU, PSU, Mich, Nebraska, or even Wisconsin head-to-head on the recruiting trail, so a guy with a proven track record of success like Kill was perfect for this program to go from being generally lousy to being a consistent winner [albeit at the 7-8 wins per season level... and even that took some beneficial scheduling to get there][/SIZE]
